{"product_id":"imagining-englands-past","title":"Imagining England's Past","description":"England has long built its sense of self on visions of its past. What does it mean for medieval writers to summon King Arthur from the post-Roman fog; for William Morris to resurrect the skills of the medieval workshop and Julia Margaret Cameron to portray the Arthurian court with her Victorian camera; or for Yinka Shonibare in the final years of the twentieth century to visualize a Black Victorian dandy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy exploring the imaginations of successive generations, this book reveals how diverse notions of the past have inspired literature, art, music, architecture and fashion. It shines a light on subjects from myths to mock-Tudor houses, Stonehenge to steampunk, and asks how – and why – the past continues so powerfully to shape the present. Not a history of England, but a history of those who have written, painted and dreamed it into being, \u003ci\u003eImagining England's Past\u003c\/i\u003e offers a lively, erudite account of the making and manipulation of the days of old.","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52992406978872,"sku":"ksk1789800521795","price":21.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7212\/0888\/files\/imagining-englands-past_1.jpg?v=1789800528","url":"https:\/\/starseamclad.shop\/products\/imagining-englands-past","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
